Quercetin 3-o-xylosyl-rutinoside is a member of the class of compounds known as flavonoid-3-o-glycosides. Flavonoid-3-o-glycosides are phenolic compounds containing a flavonoid moiety which is O-glycosidically linked to carbohydrate moiety at the C3-position. Quercetin 3-o-xylosyl-rutinoside is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Quercetin 3-o-xylosyl-rutinoside can be found in common bean and green bean, which makes quercetin 3-o-xylosyl-rutinoside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
